It probably captured something of the 60's in the States. We didn't see very much like that over here; probably just as well, getting gunned by some dude in a truck at that age ain't the best way to go!

Great film, though. I went and got myself a pair of metal gold-rimmed glasses right after watching that movie, like many another young berk. Yes sir, those were the daysTo view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I guess the scene here was a bit muted by comparison with some of the movies we saw from the States. We had our Mods & Rockers seaside brawls in the first half of the 60's, but this wasn't everybody's best way to spend a summer weekend. I had mates in both camps, so a bit difficult at times.

The huge size of the States, the long open roads and vast countryside, and the overwhelming sense of freedom that gave, suited film-making a whole lot better than over here, chugging back through Watford on a drizzly Sunday afternoon on a one-cylinder bike.To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

We weren't at war in Vietnam and conscription had finished here. I think that made for many differences. For me it was all about the music. British music sounded different and our musicians often looked different. I think we also had more inclination to mix up genres and experiment, but that may be down to me not knowing enough about music from other places. We thought we were cool and groovy and nearly believed it while hanging on to the day job or staying on at school. Everything was ... "incredible" ... certainly not boring!
